Sgt. Rock #323

Joe Kubert's cover for Sgt. Rock #323 drops you straight into the chaos of a WWII battlefield, where Rock and a fellow soldier race through smoke and explosions in a star-marked Army jeep, enemy fire blazing from a Nazi pillbox above them. Rock barks the order — "Cover us, Stryker! Open up on that enemy pillbox!" — but Stryker's reply, "I-I can't, Rock… I'm too scared to move!", sets up the gripping tension promised by the story title "Monday's Hero… Tuesday's Coward." It's a strong 1978 entry in DC's long-running war series, with Kubert's dynamic linework making every burst of gunfire and churning tire feel urgent and immediate.
